Saving the World

I feel that in order to help save our dying planet, we need to do loads of things. Even though Earth Hour helps a bit with our energy crisis, what's one hour of 1/2 electricity to a year of wasting it? We should do things on a bigger scale (atleast, in my opinion), such as having an Earth hour once a month, or even once a week, to cut down on the electricity we are wasting. Then again, this may make us go backwards, and not want to live with electricity. Then again, is that such a bad thing? We could maybe use one of the torches my dad has, where you wind a switch and then click a button for light, instead of using batteries. Re-chargable batteries at the least would suffice.

Scientists come up with loads of huge ideas, which do work, but even a few little things to help the environment can't hurt, like just turning off the AC when you aren't in the room, or remembering to switch off the TV when you go out. I'm not saying that the huge ideas are bad or anything, just that we should also start small. Afterall, if we can't do small things, how do we expect to pull off huge feats?

Possibly the most important thing is to act now. Don't wait until our planet is inhospitable, act now and probably help the human race survive for a longer time. You may think Oh, it's just one day, one day can't destroy us. But then, you may end up in the mentality of just putting it off, and sit there waiting for the enevitable. Maybe the next phase of Earth (history wise) will be Enviro-Colony. Hopefully, it will be. Also, just because we have recycled and all that stuff enough that our planet can survive for a bit longer, and isn't in the 11th hour (currently, it's 11:59), don't stop recycling! Get into the habit, and give our children, their children, and their children, and even their children a brighter future. If you are old (no offense to old people), don't just ignore it because you'll die soon and you won't have to live in the horrible Earth you helped create. Think about your children, and theirs, etc. You probably want them to have good, long lives, so recycle.
